Thousands of American servicemembers won’t be spending the Fourth of July at home. But that doesn’t mean they can’t share the holiday with friends, family and grateful fellow citizens.

The military is getting free tickets to America’s gun show.

Enlisting social media users from across the country, the United Service Organizations is asking people to share a picture or video of them flexing their bicep while tagging the USO, using the #FLEX4FORCES hashtag with a message of support and nominating four others to strike a pose. The posts, which can come from Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, will then be streamed on the Fourth to digital screens at USO centers around the globe.

The flexing campaign started May 20 on Armed Forces Day, with celebrities such as NFL all-time great Brett Favre, country superstars Tim McGraw and Garth Brook and Food Network’s Chef Robert Irvine already baring their arms. But a spokesperson said the USO is treating the three days before the Fourth as its “crescendo."

"We're really excited the Rockettes and the USO are re-energizing an alliance that's been around over 70 years," said Alissa LaVergne.

In her eighth season with the Rockettes, La Vergne understands the importance of the USO's mission. Along with performing in events to support the group and troops, she has family and friends who have missed holidays while deployed overseas.

"Luckily, with technology these days, we can have a connection," she said. "I've noticed how important it is for them to have communication with their family and friends because they're going through so much.

"(USO shows) play such a big part in the morale. When they see me in person, they say 'Thank you so much for reaching out.' It's always very humbling."

So it's easy for LaVergne to flex her arm between her kicks. The Rockettes are more than their legs.
